10 Key Benefits to Pre-Planning Your
Funeral
By Christopher P Hill
1. Upon your passing, the truth is that most people
don't have any idea how to get started, what they should
know, or who they can turn to. Pre-planning your funeral
or burial arrangements can significantly minimize the
many stresses and pressures that accompany the grieving
process of losing a close loved one.
2. This advanced planning offers you the opportunity to
decide and control just about every detail, and even
nearly every aspects of your memorial service... even
the funeral music.
3. By documenting your last wishes, you can ensure that
you and your remains are handled, treated, and placed in
an area that is in accordance with your personal
preferences..
4. By creating a plan for your final affairs, this can
also minimize or eliminate any uncertainties or disputes
among your family members. One of the biggest reasons
that family members argue or fight after a loved one has
passed is due to disagreements regarding family
heirlooms.
5. Pre-planning takes the guesswork out of the common
questions of "what do we do next" or "what would you
have wanted"? A properly structured preplan can not only
ensure that your loved ones know what to do, but can
also make sure your bequests are efficiently
implemented.
6. Through building a sound end-of-life plan, one of the
biggest advantages is that this preplan reduces (or
eliminates) the need for your family to make some very
difficult financial and emotional decisions, especially
given their state of mind at that time.
7. Through preplanning your funeral plans, as well as
pre-paying these final expenses, these plans and e this
allows you, your family, and even your Funeral Director
to have a much better overall experience and memorial
service.
8. By reducing many of the obvious family pressures,
this provides some extra time for them to work through
some of the other struggles such as dealing with the
grief and loss, planning your memorial service,
notifying your loved ones, creating your obituary,
writing a eulogy, and creating the best possible way to
celebrate and memorialize your life.
9. After completing your pre-planning process for your
family, this actually ends up enhancing your future too.
By having these details planned out in advance, you can
live every day with the "peace of mind" knowing that
someday they will receive one of the greatest gifts of
love possible.
10. By selflessly taking the time to create your smart
end-of-life plan, this basically ensures that you will
always be remembered in a special way. Your family and
loved ones will never forget the fact that you
sacrificed your time and resources to take care of these
all-important details. In turn, what you are really
doing is leave behind an everlasting memory that shows
your family and loved ones just how much you truly love
and care about them.
